"Panic in the Streets, 1950 \n\tDirected by Elia Kazan.  Stars Richard Widmark, Paul Douglas, Jack Palance, Barbara Bel Geddes\n \n\n\n\tSynopsis: A doctor (Widmark) and a policeman (Douglas) in New Orleans have only 48 hours to locate a killer infected with pneumonic plague.\n \n\n\n\tA less well regarded Kazan film, but as relevant today as it was 70 years ago, if not more so.  When a murder victim washes up with bullet wounds, the medical examiner finds he's also carrying a deadly variant of bubonic plague, likely caused by rats that come in on ships. Pneumonic plague is airborne and the need to find the killers who are no doubt infected raises the stakes, but the police are slow to respond despite Widmark's dire warnings. I totally bought it.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n "
